Before Ye Longyuan finished speaking, a man in a suit walked up to him.
He looked at Ye Longyuan's appearance carefully and said, "Are you Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye?"
"Yes." Ye Longyuan nodded, "Excuse me, Ye Longyuan."
"Mr. Ye, this is the invitation letter that the God of Wealth ordered me to give to you and the lady."
The man's tone was respectful and he handed over the two invitations with both hands.
When Ye Longyuan knew that the Xia family was going to sell the old man's painting, he asked the God of Wealth to get two invitations to prevent him and Xia Zhiruo from being stopped by boring people when they entered the auction.
"Trouble."
Ye Longyuan put away the invitation and said politely.
"No trouble, Mr. Ye, you are serious."
After the man finished speaking, he bowed to Ye Longyuan again, and then carefully withdrew.
He was just a subordinate of the God of Wealth, and did not know Ye Longyuan... However, the God of Wealth had seriously instructed him to treat this person with respect, so the man did not dare to be careless.
"Husband, this invitation letter?"
"My fat friend helped me get it."
Ye Longyuan smiled, then grabbed Xia Zhiruo's little hand and clasped his fingers together, "Let's not talk about this anymore. The auction is about to start. Let's go in first."
"good."
Xia Zhiruo saw that Ye Longyuan didn't want to say more, so she followed Ye Longyuan in without asking any more questions.
At this time, there was still half an hour before the auction started.
The people who can come to this auction are all rich or noble, and their personal assets are at least in the tens of millions.
Therefore, it is inevitable to talk and brag about each other on such occasions.
Before the auction started, everyone was in the hall, holding champagne in their hands, laughing and chatting with all kinds of people.
"Boss Li, I heard that you just acquired a piece of land yesterday. The potential of that piece of land... tsk tsk tsk, I estimate you will earn at least one billion next year!"
"Boss Song, are you here to participate in this auction? I remember that you just bought a pair of authentic blue and white porcelain pieces last month. Just one month later, the price skyrocketed by ten percent!"
"Mr. Liu, you are here too..."
Everyone was holding champagne, shaking hands with their friends, or friends of their friends, and chatting happily.
Of course, there are also some people who are not interested in antique calligraphy and painting at all, nor are they interested in this auction. They are just here to socialize.
Such people are basically the second generation of rich people, or women who are white, rich and beautiful in appearance.
“So lively.”
Xia Zhiruo had not participated in such an occasion for a long time. When she suddenly came in, she felt a little out of place.
"Husband, am I dressed a little ordinary?"
"Nothing."
"But, they all wear so sexy, all kinds of dresses..."
"They are here to get money. These women are not entrepreneurs."
After Ye Longyuan finished speaking, he pointed to a few other strong women in ordinary clothes and said, "The identities of those people should be similar to yours... Wife, you are the president of Xia Group, a strong woman!"
"That's it."
Xia Zhiruo immediately understood what was going on.
Of course, for such an occasion, some sexy social butterflies are indispensable.
Xia Zhiruo couldn't help but blush when she thought about how she had competed with them just now, "Then should I go and communicate with them?"
"It's better not to."
Ye Longyuan shook his head, "The Xia Group has a very bad reputation now. With the strength of the Xia Group at this moment, they may not want to communicate with you... unless..."
"Unless what?"
Xia Zhiruo looked confused.
"Unless they are covetous of your beauty!"
Ye Longyuan reached out and pinched Xia Zhiruo's fair and delicate face, "As soon as a beautiful woman like you leaves my side, I don't know how many men want to chat with you!"
"Hate!"
After listening to Ye Longyuan's words, Xia Zhiruo really found that many people were secretly watching her.
However, these words came out of Ye Longyuan's mouth, just like the love words of a young couple, making Xia Zhiruo feel as sweet as honey.
She gently pinched Ye Longyuan's palm and said, "Glib tongue."
"No!"
Ye Longyuan looked at his wife's cute look and suddenly wanted to kiss her.
But considering the occasion, I held back, then snapped my fingers, and the waiter brought over two glasses of champagne.
While waiting, everyone in the Xia family also appeared.
The old lady of the Xia family, Xia Yuan and his wife, Xia Yunlong, and sister-in-law Xia Wanrong.
As soon as the five people entered the venue, Xia Zhiruo saw them, and then her expression froze slightly...
Ye Longyuan felt something strange about his wife, so he followed Xia Zhiruo's gaze and saw the five members of the Xia family.
The fact that the Xia family's funds were taken away by Ye Longyuan has not yet been announced to the public. In addition, an authentic Tang Bohu painting worth over 100 million yuan will be sold today, so everyone in the Xia family became the focus as soon as they entered the venue.
The old ladies of the Xia family were also prepared to come, and everyone was dressed up carefully.
The old lady was wearing a dark embroidered women's Tang suit, her pale hair was neatly tied together, and she was holding a dragon-head crutch in her hand. She looked very majestic.
Xia Yuan and his son were wearing customized suits, while Xia Yuan's wife and sister Xia Wanrong were wearing light-colored cheongsams.
As soon as they came in, someone immediately went over to chat, "The old lady is here!"
"I heard that, old lady, you have set the starting price of "Spring Mountain Companion" at 150 million this time?"
"The market values this painting at 120 million. If you price it so high, aren't you afraid that no one will buy this painting in the end?"
"The Xia family is not short of money, why do they suddenly want to sell this painting?"
Everyone kept asking.
Of course, those who are willing to pursue questions from the Xia family are naturally ordinary small families of three or four.
As for the real first-tier families, or the second-tier families, they attach great importance to their status. Even if they are a little dissatisfied with the price of the painting, they will not lower themselves to ask the old lady and them.
The class divisions in the upper class are very strict.
If they really like this painting, they can spend an extra 20 to 30 million at most.
As for the Xia family, in their eyes they are just a nouveau riche that is sitting on nothing. In the past few years, they have not made any achievements in Chuzhou City!
"The price of this painting is not high."
Seeing so many people gathered around, the old lady couldn't help but smile with joy on her face, "Antiques are priceless, especially the authentic work of Tang Bohu. I believe that at this price, there will be a lot of people bidding on it. Don't worry, of course...
, if someone can’t afford it, they can also bid for other things. After all, this auction is more than just a "Spring Mountain Companion Picture"!"
When the old lady said this, the onlookers couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, some people are gloating in their hearts, "The price is so expensive, I wonder who will be ripped off!"
